Lots of Lovely Things for Christmas

As I've already mentioned on my blog a few times, I have been busy preparing for some craft fairs that I am doing with my sister. So I thought I would share with you some of the things that I have made with my Stampin' Up! stash.

I set all of this up on my kitchen table so that I could take a photo. Apologies for the poor lighting. I tried the flash on the camera but that did not help.

The following are close up photos of some of the "best sellers".

The birdhouses were made using the Mini Milk Carton Die. The roof was made by running the card stock through either the Crimper or embossing them using an embossing folder. The snow of the roof is some Dazzling Diamonds. The robins were made using the Bird Builder Punch.

The reindeer faces for the Treat Bags have been made using the Top Note Die and the circle punches. The antlers are a swirl made from a die.

The paperclip bookmarks were made using the Owl Builder punch. Some of them have googly eyes.

The mints have been made by sandwiching a foiled mint between two punched tags from the Perfect Punches stamp set.

So far the really big sellers have been the paperclip bookmarks and the reindeer treat bags. So much so, I have just had to make a batch of new ones because I only had a couple of each left. This is closely followed by the altered jotters, notebooks (see links to previous posts) and also the mint chocolate table decorations (see above).

If you are interested in making any of the items but don't yet have the punches or dies, but would like to purchase them, please contact me.
